Two days later, at 7:30 p.m. on June 6, the Grizzlies played an away game against the Lakers.

The goal of the two teams is clear, and the Grizzlies want to win the series in one fell swoop.

The Lakers, for their part, wanted to fight back, hold on to their first home court, and avoid suffering a 3-0 deficit.

At the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant obviously strengthened his offensive desire, actively worked hard to run and score, and no longer thought about retaining his physical strength in the third and fourth quarters to play an extraordinary performance, but was ready to continue to play the whole court in a relatively better state.

The purpose of this is to allow Paul, Sessions, Pau Gasol, and Odom, the four core of the organization, to have a stable containment point throughout the court.

However, tonight Sun Ce broke out on the defensive end!

In the first minute and 19 seconds of the first quarter, Kobe Bryant's running position received the ball and turned over for a jumper that was pounced by Sun Ce from the bottom left corner and slapped away.

In the 4th minute and 27 seconds, Da Gasol once cut into the empty basket and was poked by Sun Ce, who was retracted by the bottom line, and did not interfere with the ball, poking the ball away when the ball was about to fall.

At 7 minutes and 15 seconds, Sessions broke through with the help of Odom's blocking, attracting Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian to attack, and when Sessions passed to Kobe Bryant, who slipped the bottom line, Sun Ce judged it, slapped Sessions' pass, and was grabbed by Tony Allen who followed Kobe.

At 9:06 in the first quarter, Paul held the ball and hit Sun Ce in a big single, and was slapped by Sun Ce's big hat in front of him......

This time, Sun Ce was too excited after the block, and when Paul deliberately pasted it towards Sun Ce, Sun Ce pushed Paul away with one arm and ate a technical foul, and was replaced by Coach Hollins to calm down.

9 minutes of playing time, 3 blocks and 1 steal in a single quarter, plus 3 shots and 2 free throws to get 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, Sun Ce helped the Grizzlies play a score of 18-13 in 9 minutes before Sun Ce got off the court!

When preparing for the game yesterday, the Grizzlies determined the way of playing, attacking when the offensive state was good, and the offensive state was average, so they worked hard from the defensive end, anyway, they had to raise the intensity from the beginning and not give the Lakers a chance to play slowly.

Since you have an advantage, you must seize the advantage and continue to fight! Just like the Mavericks in the first round, the first four games cost the Mavericks almost the most, and the last two games closed the series in one fell swoop.

This time the Spurs have already done the attrition for them, and now they can directly harvest the series!

The offensive end felt average today, and the Lakers returned home to increase their defensive intensity, but their Grizzlies defended better.

Sun Ce and Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr.'s lineup consumed a wave of Kobe Bryant, Paul, and Gasol's three superstars, and after Sun Ce was replaced with a technical foul, Nash ran with Neal, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr.

If the Lakers have enough physical strength, it is not a good idea to play and run, just like in the 2010 Western Conference finals, the Suns failed to win against the Lakers, let alone the Lakers with Paul.

But the Lakers obviously couldn't keep up with the run-and-bomb lineup led by Nash this time, and directly raised the run-and-bomb intensity to the highest, and they didn't care if the Lakers could keep up with the defense.

Forget it, the Grizzlies are still trying their best to change the pace!

If it is grinding and playing, the Grizzlies can change the rhythm of the Lakers and the Lakers can still keep up, the Lakers can now play fast or slow, playing fast with Barnes, McRoberts, Odom to partner in the frontcourt, playing slow with Brand, Da Gasol, Artest to partner in the frontcourt, and the guard line Kobe, Paul, Sessions, and Blake can also be fast or slow.

But the Grizzlies went straight to the intensity, and the Lakers could only be exhausted and taken away by the rhythm of the Grizzlies.

It's not that they don't want to steal the rhythm, the two teams are about the same strength, the Lakers are strong in the big four stars, the Grizzlies are strong in the lineup, when Big Gasol and Odom are showing fatigue, and Paul has no scoring ability back then, and he can't stand up and score when his teammates shoot poorly, Kobe's performance has also been affected, and he has been hit more!

Kobe Bryant is indeed not as efficient as he was back then, because his off-ball running style makes the situation of being pinched less, and his teammates try their best to create a one-on-one play for him on the outside line with a weaker defense on the opposite side, Kobe's improvement is not by him alone, but by the team.

When the team was affected, Kobe Bryant was also affected.

The Grizzlies, who were fighting away, relied on Sun Ce's performance of 3 hats and 1 steal in 9 minutes to occupy the initiative from the beginning and gradually expand their advantage.

Although Paul and McRoberts combined to score seven points in the first half of the fourth quarter to narrow the gap to five points, they also relied on defense to hold the lead in the end.

Kobe Bryant played 38 minutes and scored 23 points on 8-of-16 shooting, Paul played 42 minutes and scored 18 points and 9 assists on 7-of-14 shooting, McRoberts had 10 points and 7 boards, Odom had 11 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Pau Gasol scored only 9 points on 3-of-13 shooting, and the Lakers scored 88 points in the game.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce played 35 minutes and scored 17 points, 14 boards, 6 assists, 7 blocks and 3 steals, with 3 turnovers, but only 1 foul, the number of fouls has been the lowest in the playoffs since the second grade, and the number of blocks tied the playoff career record!

Randolph had 32 points and 9 rebounds, and 5 offensive rebounds were very important, plus Gasol Jr.'s 15 points, Paul George's 11 points, and Nash's 3 points and 8 assists, the Grizzlies scored 98 points in a single game.

98-92, the Grizzlies scored 3-0 to get the match point and stepped into the finals with one foot!

At the moment of the final whistle, Sun Ce, who consumed the remaining 7 seconds of the Grizzlies' last possession, threw the ball to the opposite basket and won!

Sun Ce was very excited throughout the game, and the defensive end did a very good job of predicting, and occasionally relied on the "food shortage" to judge that the opponent's defense after passing was better.

Randolph also seized the time when Gasol Gasol on the opposite side was not good on the offensive end and was replaced, scoring wildly, soaring 30+, especially 4 of the 5 offensive rebounds converted into points!

The Grizzlies vowed to win the first away game, and they did it! The whole team gathered around to cheer and celebrate, 3-0, is the finals still far away?

Because it was a simple celebration away from home, and it hadn't really qualified, it couldn't be too proud now, Nash, Battier, and Tony Allen, the three veterans controlled the situation, and the group went back to the locker room with a smile and a smile, and Sun Ce didn't run away and was left by reporters for post-game interviews.

An ESPN reporter asked, "Lord, you played so well tonight, playing your best defense of the playoffs this season, what is it that makes you so excited tonight?" ”

Sun Ce thought about this question or said, he is not a star, there is no need to hide this kind of thing: "I just knew that I was about to have a child, nothing is happier than this, I don't want to be unhappy because of losing, so I try to win, and I am still very happy." ”

Listening to Sun Ce's tongue-twister answer, ESPN's reporter was a little confused, but he still understood the key word - Xiaobawang is going to have a baby!

……

……

On the night of the 3-0 victory, Sun Ce, Zu Ge and Lily Collins had a toast with Coke in their hotel suite to celebrate their upcoming finals.

After a brief celebration, I started watching TV and chatting, which was not much different from usual.

"Juanjuan, do you think Lily will have a boy or a girl? Why don't you check it out when you can find out? ”

"Brother, don't you want to wait until the last minute to find out if it's a boy or a girl?"

"I also like the feeling of scratching the ticket, but I want to know if I am pregnant with a boy or a girl, so I can prepare."

"What preparation? Buying pretty little clothes? I think it's okay to buy girls' clothes, girls can wear beautiful clothes, and boys can wear whatever they want. ”

"Juanjuan, you have a good point, just do it!"

"Brother, have you figured out the name?"

"I've already figured out a name, boy."

"What's it called?"

"Son Gohan!"

“…… Brother, you're so skinny, won't your dad smoke you? If it's a girl, do you have to call Sun Shangxiang? ”

"It's a good name, my old man should like it very much, do you know how my name came from?"

"I ...... You can probably guess ......."

Lily Collins was wearing simultaneous translation headphones, because Sun Ce's parents were going to come to the United States after a while, she specially bought a few simultaneous translation headphones in order to communicate, and heard the conversation between Sun Ce and Zu Ge, although some things such as the origin of the name were not well understood, but seeing Sun Ce so casual, Lily Collins was angry and funny.

After confirming that she was pregnant, Lily Collins was not so worried, she was mainly worried that Sun Ce did not want children.

Most NBA American athletes don't want to hear their girlfriends say that they are pregnant, which represents a huge financial expenditure, as for whether they are ready for this kind of thing, she and Sun Ce's financial situation is okay, there is no preparation or unpreparedness, with children to prepare nannies and maids, ready to go to school, ask for tutors, and take interest classes...... Just wait and wait for the step-by-step process.

Lily Collins was most worried that Sun Ce didn't want this first, so she struggled for so long, and was going to wait for confirmation before telling Sun Ce, but Sun Ce took the initiative to ask, and she didn't hold back and said it first.

The result was not bad, although Sun Ce was not ready to be a father, he did not reject this matter, and he was very happy, and after the test results came out, he immediately called his parents who were sleeping in the early morning in China.

Sun Ce's father wanted to go to Los Angeles on the spot, but fortunately, Sun Ce's mother, Yang Jing, was calmer and asked Lily Collins if she minded the two of them coming to visit her.

Lily Collins didn't refuse, and she really wanted to meet Sun Ce's Internet celebrity father who had been popular in the United States for a while, and Zu Goose's very good godmother.

As for Sun Ce changing his girlfriend, the two have long been used to it, Sun Ce only changes his girlfriend once every three years, but they feel that Sun Ce has grown up, and now that he has a child, he can calm down and run for his future......

At 9 o'clock in the next chapter, ask for a monthly pass recommendation!
